Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 2.1R and find that vi won't read either .exrc
or .nexrc in my home directory.  As a work-around, I've enabled
reading the initialization file in the cwd but it's a pain to have
to create sucha a file in every directory from which I may want to
run vi.

Am I overlooking something or is this a known bug in vi or,
perhaps, a "feature" :) ?

A less important question but, while on the subject of vi, what
must I do to rurn off the warning that is is *not* loading my
.[n]exrc file because I am not the owner when I run

% sudo vi some.system.file

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,

Charlie Sorsby
